Last quote by Ashley Marie MacDonald

I understand that there is a drug epidemic, but by doing this it is affecting people like me. I had to recently go to court to fight for my medicine because workers comp got some doctor who never met me and said I don't need my medicine. So I went without for several days. I could not get off the couch because the pain was unimaginable. You're looked at suspiciously all the time. You feel as if you are being treated like an addict. I don't know how treating people like us like criminals will help stop the opioid epidemic. I'm not taking meds to get high, I am taking them to survive.feedback

As commander-in-chief, I have no greater responsibility than leading our men and women in uniform; I have no more solemn obligation sending them into harm's way. I think about this every time I approve an operation as president. Every time, as a husband and father, that I sign a condolence letter. Every time Michelle and I sit at the bedside of a wounded warrior or grieve and hug members of a Gold Star Family.

I was running down the stairs in heels with a cup of coffee in hand, I was talking over my shoulder and my heel caught and I fell backwards. I tried to get up and it really hurt. I've broken my toe. I've received excellent care from your excellent health service.
